Story,Song and Craft Sessions
2013 has seen me return to my storytelling roots, weekly sessions for 'under 5s' and their parents or carers. Before I started writing I was one of a team working in the London Borough of Lambeth introducing very young children to books and stories, improving their concentration and ability to be part of a group. This year I have worked for the London Borough of Brent.
2015.I am still working for Brent in this capacity.

Pre-Prep World Book Day:
Thursday 5 March 2009 was World Book Day. The children in the Pre-Prep looked marvellous in costumes of their favourite book character. The day started with Year 2 leading a special Book Day assembly in the Chapel. Our visiting author was Mary Dickinson who has written many children's books, some featuring a character called Alex. Throughout the day the children took part in workshops led by Mary and the day finished with Mary telling the whole of the Pre-Prep animated stories. Many other book related activities were carried out in the classrooms all day and the children really enjoyed this productive celebration of books.

The family learning sessions have been a resounding success so thanks for delivering these good quality sessions and I hope to plan some more once the treasury releases new funds in Spring.
